Qustion about structure of a sentence from actual novel
The following is one sentence of the novel "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".
And I don' t totally understand the structure of this sentence ! I would be happy if you kindly teach me it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Before this sentence, there are conversations of "How much?" and "Not at all")
By a curious coincidence, "None at all" is exactly how much suspicion the ape-descendant Arthur had that one of his closest friends was not descended from an ape, but was in fact from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse and not from Guildford as he usually claimed.
